We ask complete beginners to email us before attending your first class to let us know you are coming and for more information.

The first half hour focuses on basic technique and instruction to improve the proficiency of steps, figures, etiquette and the understanding of dance terminology, with easier dances focused on beginners and improvers. The pace then quickens somewhat when beginners and improvers can learn and benefit from dancing with more experienced dancers. After the break, the pace and difficulty increase and the focus is more on social dancing at intermediate level. The last hour is not suitable for beginners.

Wednesdays 8.00 to 10.00 pm in May and June

The whole evening consists of social dancing for all abilities, led by committee/club members. These evenings are not suitable for complete beginners.

Sometimes the teacher for the coming week will provide cribs for his/her next class and these will be available for downloading here:
